Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for testing the program performance of a home location register is provided to effectively perform a process in case of searching a portion for degrading the performance or improving the performance of a corresponding routine by adding a time function to a debugging sentence of a program of the home location register and accurately knowing a required time of the corresponding routine. CONSTITUTION: A definition to a time function is performed(S101). If the time function is defined, a corresponding routine corresponding to an instruction input of an operator is performed(S102). If the performance of the corresponding routine is completed, the time function is called for confirming a current time(S103). The confirmed current time is stored in a specific wide-band variable(S104), and a required time of the corresponding routine is calculated(S105). The calculated current time and required time is displayed in a debugging sentence(S106). The calculated required time is compared with a predetermined uniform time, and it is judged whether the required time is more than the predetermined uniform time(S107). If the required time is more than the predetermined uniform time, the required time is stored in a log file(S108) and the current time is judged as a time for completing the storage of the log file(S109).

The present invention relates to a home location register of a mobile communication system, and by adding a time function to a debugging statement of a program of a home location register, the required time of the routine can be accurately known. The present invention relates to a method for testing performance of a program of a home location register to enable more effective processing of the neck.

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of a general mobile communication system.

As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile station (MS) 1 for transmitting and receiving data to and from the base station 20 wirelessly, and a base station (BTS: Base Tranceiver) to transmit and receive data to and from the mobile terminal 1 wirelessly. Station) 2; A base station controller (BSC) 3 for controlling data transmission and reception of the base station 2; A mobile switching center (MSC) 4, which is an exchange station for exchanging data between arbitrary terminals via a control station 3; A code division multiple access (CDMA) network 5, which is connected to the mobile communication switch 4 and is a communication network for data communication; It consists of a PSTN network (6) connected to the mobile communication switch (4) and performing analog voice telephone service, and a home location register (7) connected to the mobile communication switch (4) and storing subscriber information. do.

Let us briefly explain the operation of the mobile communication system having such a configuration.

The mobile terminal 1 transmits and receives data and voice by wirelessly interfacing with the base station 2 according to the IS-95 standard.

The base station 2 wirelessly transmits and receives voices and data to and from the mobile terminal 1 through a wired interface with the control station 3. That is, the base station 3 has a call processing function, a radio signal transmission and reception function, a radio resource management function, a visual information management function between the mobile terminal 1 and the base station 2, an error detection and statistical information collection and reporting function, and packet routing. Function, power control function.

And, the control station (3) is located between the base station (2) and the mobile communication exchange (4), and performs data communication with the base station 2 in the form of voice packets via a wire, and the operator with the mobile communication exchange (4) Man Machine Interface and Global Positioning System (GPS) reception functions for matching.

Next, the mobile communication switch 4 performs an interworking interface with a corresponding exchange period, an interface between corresponding subscribers and other mobile communication elements, and other networks such as ISDN and PSTN.

In addition, a mobile communication switch that includes the functions of a cellular gateway switching system is a multi-processor structure that distributes functions and loads, and has a distributed control structure that is a two-level hierarchy of main and sub-processors. Is done. The mobile communication switch 4 is connected to the CDMA network 5 and the PSTN network 6 to transmit and receive the corresponding data and voice.

The home location register (7) is connected to the ear canal switch (4), stores the subscriber information, and transmits the subscriber information to the mobile switch (4) when the subscriber authentication request is received from the mobile switch (4). Subscriber authentication is performed, and other subscriber's location information is stored.

The home location register 7, which is one of the essential components in such a mobile communication network, registers, changes, or deletes customer information through communication with the customer data bonsai apparatus of the operator. Unlike operational maintenance devices, they do not exist in each exchange.

This data communication with the customer data distribution device is made through the home location register (7).

In the message logging method between the customer data distribution device and the home location register 7, the directory where the log file (log_file) is to be stored is designated in the program so that the operator refers to the log file only in the designated directory. In addition, the disk capacity is limited and files to be logged are normally stored for one year.

That is, the home location register 7 needs a command matching function to process the command by the operator's command as shown in FIG. That is, after receiving the command from the operator interprets the meaning of the command in the command interface 10, and transmits a message to the corresponding function processing block in the home location register (7). Then, the command execution result is received and displayed to the operator.

In addition, the command execution unit 30 performs a command received from the command interface 10. The command interface 20 stores operator command related information.

The home location register according to the related art checks the source code of a part that may cause the performance deterioration in order to identify the cause of the performance degradation of the program, or uses a performance inspection tool. I couldn't easily figure out what was causing the performance degradation. Therefore, this method is costly and time-consuming and inefficient.

The tool includes a "lint" that checks the problem of the code when compiling the source code. The execution of the tool can check some factors that may reduce the performance of the program.

However, there is a problem in that it is impossible to check for potential problems occurring at the execution stage, so that such problems cannot be checked.

And, the way to use debugging statement is to add the print statement to the part that might cause the performance deterioration, monitor the situation until the print statement is printed, and intensively analyze and catch the code before and after. .

However, such a method also has a problem that takes a lot of time and money, there is an uncomfortable problem that must directly check the performance degradation.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems according to the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to add a time function to a debugging statement of a program of a home location register so that the required time of the routine can be accurately known. The present invention provides a method for testing a program performance of a home location register to find a part that reduces the number of times, and to more effectively process the neck to improve the performance of the routine.

A feature of the program performance test method of the home location register according to the present invention for achieving the above object is the step of performing a function (Define) for the time function, and then performing a corresponding routine corresponding to the operator's command input; When the execution of the routine is completed, calling a time function (Call) to check the current time, storing the checked current time in a separate global variable, and calculating a required time of the routine; Displaying the calculated current time and required time in a debugging statement when the corresponding routine time required is calculated; Comparing the calculated time required with a predetermined time and determining whether the time required is longer than a predetermined time; If it is determined that the calculated required time is equal to or greater than a predetermined predetermined time, storing the required time in a log file (S108), and changing the current time to a time point at which the log file storage is completed; When the above process is completed, the following routine is performed, and then the same process as above is performed.

Hereinafter, a program performance test method of a home location register according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the program performance test method of the home location register according to the present invention.

First, the technical principle of the present invention will be described.

Time function and time is added to the debugging statement of the existing home location register program so that the current time and time required for processing of the routine can be known accurately. Here, the required time is a time obtained by subtracting the last processing time of the previous routine from the current time.

The current time represents the time after the routine is processed, and the time required represents the time between the end of the previous routine and the current time.

That is, the current time is the current time after the routine is processed, and the time required is the current time after the routine is processed-the current time after the previous routine is processed.

The present invention having such a principle is largely divided into two.

One is to display the current time using the time function after executing the routine, and the other is to process the time taken by subtracting the current time of the previous routine from the current time of the current routine.

With reference to Figure 3 will be described step by step for the program performance test method of the home location register according to the present invention.

First, a fine on the time function is performed (S101).

Then, if the time function is defined, to perform the corresponding routine corresponding to the operator's command input (S102).

Subsequently, when the execution of the routine is completed, a time function is called (Call) to check the current time (S103). Here, the current time is the current time after the routine is processed.

Then, the checked current time is stored in a separate global variable (S104), and the required time of the routine is calculated (S105). That is, the current time is calculated by subtracting the processing completion time of the previous routine stored in the separate wide area variable and stored in the separate wide area variable.

Subsequently, when the required time is calculated, the calculated current time and required time are displayed in a debugging statement (S106).

Subsequently, it is determined whether the required time is longer than a predetermined time by comparing the calculated time required with a predetermined time (S107).

As a result of the determination, when the calculated required time is equal to or more than a predetermined time, the required time is stored in a log file (S108), and the current time is determined as a time point at which the log file is completed to be stored (S109).

When the above process is completed, the following routine is performed, and then the current time and the required time are calculated and stored in the log file in the same manner as described above.

The program performance test method of the home location register according to the present invention as described above has an advantage that can effectively cope with various performance-related problems that may occur in the process of providing a mobile communication service in a mobile communication network.

In addition, there is an advantage of minimizing complaints to operators and customers by promptly processing and responding to analysis and resolution of performance problems.

In addition, it is possible to provide high quality and service of mobile communication service by effectively coping with existing performance problem and more efficient approach of function for new performance.
